how to install?
Hey guy's got another strange question for you. Recently i posted that my Sunroof shade somehow ripped and everyone advised just to buy a new one. I was able to find a used one in my area for 100$ witch was a good deal because the cheapest one on ebay is 250$. So my question is how do i remove my old one and install the new one? I really hope there is another way other then removing the headliner?

no headliner removal necessary.
slide old shade back a bit
use your fingers or a screwdriver to remove the black plastic trim piece at the front of the sliding glass (its what goes from one side to the other and pushes the shade back)
once thats off, slide the shade shut and open the sunroof all the way
once the sunroof is open, exit vehicle and look at the top side of the shade. You will see clips/sliders at each corner. Use a small screwdriver to push the white slider towards the center of the car, and you'll be able to lift the shade out of its track. Repeat one or two more times with the other clips and the whole thing lifts out.
reverse to replace.
